Name

Hrašče was attested in written sources in 1498 as Krasschach, with a locative ending. The name Hrašče, like similar names (e.g., Hraše, Hrastje, Hrastovica, Hrastnik), is derived from the plural demonym *Hrasťane, in turn derived from the word hrast 'oak', and originally referred to the local vegetation.[3]

Church

Saint Anne's Church

The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Anne and belongs to the Parish of Hrenovice.[4]

gollark: It's not balanced just because you have to wait a while for automation to make the stuff you need.
gollark: And it's *not fun* if your only choice for being competitive involves going for one mod. It's like DE.
